Silicone-based treatments are widely considered the gold standard in scar management—but many people ask: can you use silicone sheets and silicone gel at the same time?

The answer is yes—but not layered together.

Do Silicone Sheets and Gel Work the Same Way?

Both silicone sheets and silicone gel create a semi-occlusive barrier that helps regulate hydration and collagen production within scar tissue (Pruksapong et al., 2020).

Consistent use of either form has been shown to:

• Improve scar texture

• Reduce thickness

• Improve pigmentation

There is no significant difference in effectiveness between gel and sheets when used properly (Kim et al., 2014).

Can You Use Them at the Same Time?

You should not apply silicone gel underneath silicone sheets simultaneously.

Both products are designed to control moisture and create an optimal healing environment. Layering them can interfere with proper adhesion and reduce effectiveness.

Scar improvement is driven by consistent application over time, not combining formats (Wang et al., 2020).

The Best Way to Use Both

You can still benefit from using both—just not at the same time.

Alternate Use

Use silicone sheets when you can wear them for extended periods, and switch to gel when sheets aren’t practical.

Different Areas

• Sheets: best for larger, flat areas

• Gel: best for facial or irregular areas

Maintaining a stable, hydrated environment is key to improving scar outcomes (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0305417922001036).

Why Silicone Works

Silicone helps regulate the healing process by:

• Reducing transepidermal water loss

• Maintaining hydration

• Supporting balanced collagen production

This environment helps prevent the excess collagen buildup that leads to raised or visible scars (Pruksapong et al., 2020).

Where Rejuvaskin Fits In

Rejuvaskin offers both clinically aligned options:

• Scar Fx Silicone Sheets

• RejuvaSil Silicone Scar Gel

Both rely on medical-grade silicone and are designed to support consistent, long-term scar management.

So, can you use silicone sheets and gel at the same time?

• Not layered together

• Yes, as part of a strategic routine

Both are effective. What matters most is consistent use over time.
